UNLESS YOU TESTED IT IN MULTIPLE CONDITIONS WITH A NUMBER OF MILES I DISAGREE WITH YOUR REVIEW BECAUSE ITS NOT “MINIMALIST” ENOUGH..IF YOU PUT IN SOME HIGH MILES AND FAST PACING, THIS PERFORMS EXCELLENT. ITS STABLE, CUSHIONED, RESPONSIVE AT SPEED, AND A HIGH QUALITY SHOE. I PICKED UP THE SHOE FOR $90 AND IT HAS MET ALL MY NEEDS OF A HIGH MILAGE LOW DROP SHOE.

Good question – forgot to mention that in the review. Arch support is basically identical to that of the Kinvara 2 – noticeable but not awful, but then I don’t tend to be bothered much by arch support. I’m most sensitive to heel lift and shoe weight. This shoe is good on the former and not so good on the latter.

I’m happy it worked for you. As with any shoe, individual results will vary, and it was not a top choice for me.

I find it amazing how ones perspective on the world changes over time.  Two years ago I wouldn’t have considering running in plimsoles, barefoot or something like a pair of Neo Trails that now adorn my feet – these would have all be alien and crazy.  Yet now I can’t imagine ever buying a shoe like a Mirage, even with it’s low heel drop.

Just have to hope that no-one has bought my a shoe like this for Christmas!

Good to will to all over the festive season, and special thanks to Pete for providing such a great blog :-)

Yes, but i filmed myself and saw the same knee shift. So skechers are as

soft as cortanas but more stable probably because of less height,

right?

I don’t mind cushion, just not too much.

I never filmed myself from behind in the Cortana so hard to say. It’s a soft shoe so if you are looking for a stable base it may not be the best choice. Stability is also a very individual thing so your results might be very different than mine.
